In news that will come as a shock to many, Japanese gaming bible Famitsu has scored Capcom’s remake of Resident Evil for GameCube at 39 out of 40, an unprecedented score for a remake.

Though the main game remains the same in format, Famistu was impressed by the enhanced control method and new items, rooms and surprises the game contained.

UK gamers who can resist the lure of overpriced imports will be able to judge Resident Evil for themselves this Summer.
